Toyota RAV4 headlight bulbs: common questions

What headlight bulb does a Toyota RAV4 use?

LED (all trims; sealed unit, no user-replaceable bulb) for the low beam and LED (all trims; LE/XLE bi-LED reflector, higher trims projector LED) for the high beam. Trims with factory LED or HID projectors use a sealed assembly instead and are not bulb-serviceable.

What fog light bulb does a Toyota RAV4 take?

H11 halogen (where equipped; LED fogs on some Limited/Adventure).

Can you put LED bulbs in a Toyota RAV4?

Physically, yes, LED replacements exist in every common base. Whether they work well depends on the housing: a reflector housing designed around a halogen filament scatters LED output into oncoming traffic instead of down the road. Projector housings tolerate the swap far better. Some vehicles also flag the lower current draw as a bulb-out fault.
